Perfect on their own, with a glass of champagne or as part of your Christmas trifle.

Dyson Farming Strawberry Trifle Serves 4
Method
- For the strawberry coulis, wash, hull and quarter the strawberries, then place in the pan with the icing sugar and a squeeze of lemon and simmer until the strawberries are soft, which will take about 5 minutes. Blend until smooth.
- For the compote, soak the gelatine leaves in cold water until soft. Wash, hull and quarter the strawberries, place in a pan with the caster sugar and simmer for 5 minutes, remove the gelatine from the water and add to the pan, then allow to cool.
- For the custard, whisk the egg yolks, sugar and cornflour until thick, warm the double cream and whisk together. Place the mixture into a pan and gently stir until thicken, cook slowly for 3/5 minutes, stirring continuously, then leave to cool.
- For the trifle, cut the trifle sponges into even size pieces and place in the bottom of a glass bowl, add the strawberry compote and half the coulis, then add the custard and a layer of whipped cream.
- Decorate the trifle with strawberries and remaining coulis.
